Well, if it wasn't a smug ass Tesla driver, they wouldn't have hit the massive object laying obviously in the road... like all the other people that managed to not get impaled.
Far more gas cars catch fire for road debris strikes than Tesla cars. Look, its happened exactly ONE time, yet car fires happen every other day on average.
Except, it happened not 1 time, but 3 times, in a short period of time, to a car thats pretty unpopular simply because they can't produce that many at this point in time (not due to lack of buyers).
Compare the ratio of Tesla's that have caught fire in America to the number of ratio of petrol powered cars in america that have done the same.
This is only 3 cars, it is entirely possible that its just a really rare coincidence. Correlation is not causation of course... but it sure as hell points its finger in a direction we need to have investigated to be sure.
... Bank robberies of Bank of America and Suntrust seem to be relatively common around here, I hear about at least one a year, sometimes 2. They seem to be doing fine making off with sums as high as 10k in some recent cases so while I understand what you're saying, they doesn't seem to be the end of the bank robbers taking case from the tellers.
Technology isn't anywhere near advanced as a human pilot in the seat. Won't be for a while.
But then... Why go flying?
Sigh... beam and other pure energy weapons are currently many years off. The energy requirements for these devices are ridiculous compared to our power supplies currently. Perhaps that will change and they'll become more efficient, or some new (fusion?) extremely high density/light weight power storage system will be found. These weapons won't matter until someone overcomes the power density of the high energy explosives currently used. Realistically, I don't think they'll ever really make it, the physics of it just don't work out without our learning something completely unexpected, which is also likely given how little we know about the universe at the moment.
I live in an affluent neighborhood in the ritzy suburb of the capital of my state. I have multiple misdemeanor arrests over the years for stupid shit.
Never has it been brought up when I had to find an apartment, loan.
It came up ONCE for a job, working for the State of GA which required a certain level of background check due to working with certain medical records and prescription drugs. I had to ask them for more paper to write down my criminal offenses as they required you to list them any you had. They had no problem hiring me and having me bonded, simply because I didn't lie about it. They actually joked about it (I became friends with one of the HR ladies who did my background checks) that I listed more than they got back on their reports as some of it was before I turned 18 and had disappeared.
While it was brought up, other than the jokes and laughs about it, that was all there
McDonalds doesn't give a shit about your protest arrest. Neither does Walmart, the State of GA, most technology companies and a pharmaceutical company or two that I've worked for. The CIA might night hire you depending on your crimes, and Walmart may not be in a hurry to hire a shoplifter, but its not nearly as bad as you make it out to be.
People really don't give a fuck unless you are a creepy dishonest fuck. None of my arrests were noble, just fucking stupid.
If the government spends your taxes in a way you disagree with, and the election system makes you unable to change that
No. People of America just don't actually care all that much. Just because YOU and a few of your friends get all uppity about some 'cause', doesn't mean anyone else gives a fuck, and THAT is the problem.
The problem is that in America, even with the government doing 'horrible' things... life is WAY to good to rock the boat very much for 99% of the population. You still wake up in a warm bed, with food and drink, and a job (or you can get a job if you put even a tiny amount of effort in it). America, for all its problems, is just a fucking awesome place to live.
Somalians have something to protest about. Kenyans have something to protest about. American's are whiney bitches too lazy to do anything other than bitch about... and too lazy to even bother voting properly... thats how little Americans ACTUALLY care about the 'causes' that these protests are for.
Seriously, using light to communicate is so awesome that... laptops STOPPED carrying the stupid IrDA port that worked like shit. Its not impressive that someone did it now with shit that radio shack has been selling kids for 30 years. I know, cause I could by the parts to build and do this at radio shack 25 years ago, I know since I did just that for my TRS-80. I wasn't the first then, since I was following the directions in some magazine.
I'll be happy to race the model in my slow little Pontiac... I just won't do it for sprints, I'll do it for distance, and I'll whip its ass reliably everyone when you start talking 200 mile range, which I can get without breaking even thinking about it. Easily 300 if I make sure the tank is full first.
So great, you can spank me to the end of the block in your Tesla, but I can actually finish the lap without needing a new battery;)
132 MPH isn't THAT ridiculously fast, but it is certainly fast enough that you shouldn't be doing it on standard production tires, even the ones rated for high speed, because they aren't rated for that high speed for any length of time... or even... say hitting a reflector on the road.
However, if you're tire pressure warning lights are coming on at those speeds you should immediately remove your foot from the accelerator, put both hands securely on the wheel and COAST down to a slow speed before applying ANY brakes and stopping.
Pressure monitors activing at high speed either means the monitors are mounted incorrectly and centripetal force activated them (likely) or your tires are coming apart and your death is rapidly approaching as a tire disintegrating in a Tesla S at 130 MPH is likely going to require a good bit of driver skill if its a front in order to stay off the guardrail. Hell, at that speed a rear is going to be a bad day too.
They shouldn't lose pressure at all. Its a sign the tires are ballooning, and thats VERY VERY BAD.
All of thos OSes including SunOS provided the compiler as an optional package. Seen plenty of SunOS boxes without compilers.
Why would you install a compiler on anything other than your build server? Are you one of those morons that compiles every package from source across every host because your too stupid to know how to function as a proper UNIX admin and think having different builds and build configuration is a good plan for a consistent and stable platform.
Your comments wreak of amateur/armchair admin who doesn't have a clue.
The websites were intentionally changed to display a notice they had been "shutdown" . If they had been shutdown, no one would have seen a notice.
What's more, many important sites with automated data feeds that I access stayed up and pumping out data, meaning someone was still taking a measurement too as the process is not automated.
It was nothing more than both fracking parties trying to make the other guy look like an asshole at OUR expense and frustration.
Vote every single one of those pricks out of office over the next two elections. The next president should meet a house and senate with no incumbents at all.
And buying the tax information database is trivial for me, a normal person. It's trivial for Amazon too.
If Quickbooks can do it, so can they, considering their accounting department alone is bigger than Quickbooks entire software staff and support personal
Buying and including an Office suit so that you're compatible with one the competitions big products... not really sure how threatened I'd feel... in fact, I'd consider myself the winner if people were taking those kind of shots at me...
Are you a masochist? If you aren't, just use FreeBSD instead. You'll get roughly the same result, minus the pain and suffering Theo inflicts on others who listen to his rants as well as use his code.
I can't for the life of me understand why hardware needs to know its working with Skype. A video capture device is a video capture device, a mic is a mic and speakers are speakers. What software you use them with is irrelevant. I'd say theres something fundamentally wrong with hardware that requires some special API to work with Skype. If thats the case, the hardware was broken from the start.
Me and anyone I know. Combination of Hangouts for my friends that work at Google and Android fanboys, and FaceTime for the rest of my family and friends.
The only people I know that use Skype are shitty salesmen too cheap to pay for a real phone call. The instant I hear that VoIP delay, I just tell them if they can't be bothered to make an actual phone call, I can't be bothered to waste my time on them.
Seriously, who uses Skype? Its always been shitty.

Uhm, actually, it does, beyond any doubt.
Not sure what silly fantasy you live in, but currency used in the realm is most certainly a concern of the realm, and its written into law.
No, I'll just keep cash and a real bank instead.
All the advantages of bitcoin, none of the disadvantages.
Of course, I also live in the real world and not fantasy land.

Electric motors develop their torque peak at dead stop, as RPM increases, torque falls off.
While your Porsche may develop 400hp at 7000 RPM, The Tesla develops 400HP at 0 RPM, and works down from there.
132 MPH isn't THAT ridiculously fast, but it is certainly fast enough that you shouldn't be doing it on standard production tires, even the ones rated for high speed, because they aren't rated for that high speed for any length of time ... or even ... say hitting a reflector on the road.

Hell, at that speed a rear is going to be a bad day too.

not at 130mph, where you're consuming fuel at a FAR higher rate and you're likely to be in the low teens as far as MPG.
OSx has all the same debugging spew your expecting, did you bother looking at the logs as you would on another host?
Console.app is hary, mmmmkay
All of thos OSes including SunOS provided the compiler as an optional package. Seen plenty of SunOS boxes without compilers.
Why would you install a compiler on anything other than your build server? Are you one of those morons that compiles every package from source across every host because your too stupid to know how to function as a proper UNIX admin and think having different builds and build configuration is a good plan for a consistent and stable platform.
Your comments wreak of amateur/armchair admin who doesn't have a clue.
Because the actual specification doesn't require a compiler, just you.
And adding a compiler is just an install able package, technically a couple packages. For free, from the vendor.
The specification makes no retarded requirement that you compile every app, so it's not included by default. Get over it fanboy
Exactly.
The websites were intentionally changed to display a notice they had been "shutdown" . If they had been shutdown, no one would have seen a notice.

By a Nissan or Ford instead!
